Summary
14 W Administrative Services LLC
enterprise legacy
14WEST-AS is 14 W Administrative Services LLC — "14 West" — a Baltimore, Maryland shared-services company that provides accounting, HR and IT to the Agora group of publishing and financial-newsletter businesses. Despite the generic name it is an ordinary corporate network: the IT department of a private group, holding an AS number so the group's offices and systems can multi-home.
What it's used for
The routing is unmistakably enterprise. RIS sees four IPv4 prefixes totalling 1,024 addresses, no IPv6, and two observed BGP neighbours. Two upstreams is redundancy for one organisation, not a business selling connectivity — a transit network peers with hundreds of ASes, and an ISP with 1,024 addresses would be a rounding error. Four separate /24s from three different ranges also fit an in-house network that has picked up assignments over time rather than a service provider carving a block for customers.
Notable
Every prefix clears against the holder. 192.135.136.0/24, 199.114.7.0/24, 161.129.24.0/24 and 161.129.26.0/24 are all registered in ARIN to org 14 W Administrative Services LLC, under the handles 14WEST-192, 14WEST-199 and 14WEST-161. Registrant and announcer are the same party across the entire inventory, so there is no third-party or leased-address pattern here despite the scattered-looking block list. The handle numbering is simply "one ARIN network per legacy range".
Interesting
The name is a street address, not a description: 14 West Mount Vernon Place is the group's Baltimore headquarters. It is a good example of a handle that tells you nothing about what the network does until you look up the org.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-06, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-06. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
